The CIML will hold
its 41st Meeting in Cape Town (South Africa) on Wednesday 18, Thursday
19 (morning) and Friday 20 October 2006. It will be preceded by a Seminar
on Prepackaging on Monday 16 October. A number of other meetings (Regional
bodies, OIML TCs/SCs and Working Groups) will also be organized on this
occasion.

There will be a number
of key issues requiring decisions at this meeting, including the situation
of certain Member States, the implementation of the MAA, a large number
of new or revised publications, cooperation with liaison Organizations,
the appointment of a BIML Assistant Director and the election of a Second
CIML Vice-President.

It is essential that
the Committee have sufficient voting members for a quorum. Therefore,
if you are unable to personally attend this meeting, please ensure you
delegate your vote to a member of your staff or to a representative of
your Embassy in South Africa. If your country is unable to be present
in Cape Town, please give a proxy to another CIML Member.

The BIML has prepared
a web site for the Cape Town meetings (www.oiml.org/capetown) and a summary
of the key information is enclosed with this letter of invitation. Registration
will again this year be online via the Cape Town web site and the deadline
for registering attendance and accommodation is 31 August 2006.

Looking forward
to seeing you again in Cape Town,

Yours sincerely,

Alan E. Johnston
